EDIT: Your title is misleading. You are not having issues with minion and it download into the proper folder.
I have no idea how to resolve that other then closing the game completely and then going to C:\Users\[user name]\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live
I did also just noticed the path you shared with us. That is not the proper folder. The fact it is on the D drive also implies you moved your Documents folder.
Code:
[1]:[2]\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns
[1]: is the drive but if you move this the game may not recognize it. I didn't program the game but you may need to check your configuration for windows and revert anything back to default. I won't know how to do that, you will need to google it.
[2]: There should be Users\[username] so if your PC username is also Gizra then it would be "C:\Users\Gizra\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live"
The game is going to update AddOnSettings.txt when you enable and disable mods. So first if nothing shows up then that's because from what I can tell you configured windows to use a different documents folder. So the game itself can't see the mods you download. Then even if you get that fixed the game needs to see the AddOnSettings.txt in the same folder where AddOns is located. If the game can not see the folder and that file then what you expect to happen will not happen.
If you put %localappdata% in the windows explorer that will take you to "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local" and from there you know where windows is looking for things. So then go to "C:\Users\[username]" and then go to the MyDocuments fodler. From there that is probably where the game is looking and you should work from that default folder. |
Thank you for your answer, but please don't tell me I must move everything to my C drive as I specifically load everything to D drive as I have a twin drive system and the C drive is the smaller of the two and I don't want to fill it up with unnecessary junk programming. Up until the end of 2020 I had no problem with running everything off the D drive I am not sure whether I inadvertently did something wrong when I downloaded Minion again or if something changed in the coding to interfere with what I do on a regular basis with all my programs. Anything OS related goes on C as it is only 128 gigs and everything else goes on D as it is 1 tera in size. I have Minion loaded on D as I specifically changed the install folder for it from C to D when I downloaded it this last time. I also have Steam, GOG, and all my games loaded on D and it all runs fine. Just Minion that is giving me fits, and from what a guildmate told me when I mentioned it to them there are others in one of his other guilds that are having similar issues with Minion not registering downloaded addons properly.
